[Last month](http://motoringfile.com/2007/02/01/announcing-the-motoringfile-photo-contest/ “Announcing the MotoringFile Photo Contest”) we announced the debut of the MotoringFile Photo Contest, and now we’re happy to bring you the results! We had a great month, with 200 photos posted to [the group]( “MotoringFile group on Flickr”) by our nearly 250 members. We saw a huge number of truly fantastic images with everything from [dinosaurs](http://flickr.com/photo.gne?id=399864295) and [airplanes](http://flickr.com/photo.gne?id=398341158) to [deserts](http://flickr.com/photo.gne?id=401370109) and [blizzards](http://flickr.com/photo.gne?id=376672865). Unfortunately, we had to pick just a handful.

After much deliberation, the MotoringFile Photo Contest judges present to you the February 2007 winners of the MotoringFile Photo Contest! (click through to see the winners…)

The first place prize goes to our man Jon Morgan in Old Blighty. One of the more prolific panderer of pixels, Jon’s brought us some fantastic images this month. Be sure to check out his [other photos on Flickr](http://flickr.com/photos/jonmmorgan/). Jon takes home our grand prize of a grille badge from [MotoringBadges](http://motoringbadges.com/)! Jon – let us know where we can send your badge! And Jon is interested, we’d love to have this image join the ranks of the MotoringFile headers.

Our second runner up is from the mysterious [_cth75_](http://flickr.com/photos/cth75/), taken from what looks to be some kind of lovers’ lane. Is it any wonder he or she is looking to maintain some anonymity?

Honorable Mentions

We wanted to stop at just three photos. But we couldn’t. So here are two more.

Thank you to everyone who entered! This was not a one-shot deal, so get out there and keep taking pictures. We’ll be working on more ways to feature *everyone’s* pictures on MotoringFile in the near future.
